WEC UK-Bound

The UFC has made the United Kingdom a regular stop whenever they tour overseas; now you can add another MMA promotion into the mix as according to Stash Capar of The Fight Network, the World Extreme Cagefighting organization is eyeing the UK as a future stop as they look to make an international presence. This was previously reported by Fighters Only magazine and has been confirmed by UFC UK president Marshall Zelaznik.

Zelaznik added, “The WEC will come to the UK, first on TV screens, and when the time is right, we’ll run live WEC events in the UK.” The WEC – a sister promotion to the UFC – will more than likely frequent the smaller venues throughout the UK initially, as well as arenas that cannot support crowds for a full UFC event.
